Frequently Asked Questions
What is an armored vehicle?
An armored vehicle is a passenger car, SUV, truck, van, or specialty platform reinforced with ballistic materials to protect occupants from gunfire, explosives, and forced entry. Unlike military equipment, modern civilian and law enforcement armored vehicles are engineered to look and drive like factory originals while providing certified protection up to .50 BMG armor-piercing rounds. The ArmoredVehicles.com group of companies has built and delivered armored vehicles in more than 80 countries since 1993. Read more in our in-depth armored vehicle FAQ.
How much does an armored vehicle cost?
Armored vehicle pricing typically ranges from $95,000 to over $800,000, depending on the base vehicle, protection level, and customization. Entry-level handgun-rated builds (A4 / CEN B4) start at $100,000 and go up to $200,000. Rifle-rated builds (A9 / B6+) range from $140,000 to $250,000. Top-tier protection against .50 BMG armor-piercing rounds (A12 / B7+) reaches $350,000 and beyond. Pre-owned options can deliver $100,000 to $400,000 in savings without reducing the protection rating.
Is it legal for civilians to own an armored car in the United States?
Yes. Civilian ownership of bullet-resistant vehicles is legal in all 50 US states. Armored vehicles are not classified as firearms, military equipment, or restricted weapons. There are no federal permits required to purchase or drive a privately-owned armored car. The vehicle complies with all standard FMVSS road regulations because the armoring is engineered to remain within OEM safety and emissions parameters. For state-specific questions, contact our team.
How long does it take to armor a vehicle?
Standard turnaround from deposit to delivery is 4 to 12 weeks, depending on protection level, base vehicle availability, and customization complexity. This is among the fastest production timelines in the industry without compromising quality control. Pre-owned and ready-to-ship inventory is available for immediate delivery. Rush builds may be possible for government contracts and emergency operational needs.
Should I buy or rent an armored vehicle?
Buy when the need is permanent, the use case is daily, or the protection profile is highly customized. Rent or lease when the need is event-driven (a tour, a high-risk visit, a temporary assignment), short-term (under 2 months), or when testing fit before committing to a full build. The group's rental fleet includes Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Mercedes-Maybach S580, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Range Rover Autobiography, and GMC Yukon Denali XL.
